Why I’m sharing the Best Gluten Free Restaurants… Upon being diagnosed with a severe gluten allergy a few years ago, I became riddled with one of my biggest obstacles. I have always been a foodie. My husband and I plan trips based on where we want to eat, and I love trying everything. Not to mention, my favorite desserts are carb loaded deliciousness like doughnuts and chocolate cake. It’s taken me 3 years to try different restaurants around the valley and truly find that there are amazing options and wonderful people doing their best to make sure gluten is not a problem when dining with them.

Now a days I’m in search of moments. I’m in search of reasons to connect with my family. It’s easy to buy stuff, I’m in search of the things money CAN’T buy. I go to bed smiling when my kids share stories with me, or we have an extra fun night giggling really hard. So, when I have to answer the question, “What do you want for Mother’s Day?” Naturally my response is I want the good stuff, I want to feel the love of my children. Oh, and coffee in bed!

As I once explained via instagram, you can take me out of the 90’s, but you can’t take the 90’s out of me. One of the best staples of the 90’s was blazers, classy blazers. Here’s my favorite way to style blazers for Summer. You can find this specific tie sleeve blazer from Charlotte London here. It’s structured shoulders give it class and style, while the ties add a bit of playfulness. Shop the shorts here. Also: Purse Shoes Ribbed Tube Top
